American supermodel Gigi Hadid’s father Mohamed Hadid wrote an emotion filled post about his daughter in her birthday.
Nevertheless, the heartfelt note had instantly backfired as critics gathered to call him out for mentioning that the supermodel is self-made, when her influential parents allegedly helped her get a lift in the industry.
“What the 20 things that you did not know about Gigi Hadid? 1. Self Made… never took a single Dollar from her parents,” he mentioned in the birthday post.
Many social media users were annoyed by the remarks as they made clear how Gigi was born into money and opportunity and used nepotism to hike the ladder at a quick speed.
“Self-made?? Born privileged more like it,” stated one annoyed user.
“Yeah, Yolanda def helped Gigi and Bella get into the industry…” another mentioned.
“Self-made? Her mom’s a model which is the only reason she got signed as well as Bella and you’re a rich developer who built mansions all over BH and Bel Air… she was born into money, sis,” stated by one.
“They literally bought Gigi and Bella a model career,” added another.
“Look at them at the beginning of their careers. They would have never got any job if it wouldn’t be their parents. Especially their walks have been extremely horrible. Other less rich spoiled models would’ve never had the opportunity. They never worked hard for anything. Their whole career is bought,” added another.
